adelagiaHiii, everybody! I am back from hanging out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
accordingtomel. We clocked many, many hours of television, avoided the outdoors, played nerdy games, ate a lot, had a two-woman Merlin finale party, and squeed/ranted/laughed until it hurt. To sum up: it was awesome.
Was overall pleased with the last three episodes of Merlin; they don't completely make up for the garbage they threw at us (and the metal things thrown at Merlin's head) for most of S3 but they were at least strong enough that I don't despair of a totally craptastic S4. Which is somewhat even more frustrating since eps like these show that the production team are capable of brilliant writing/direction/editing, so the weak episodes suffer even worse in comparison.
Santiago Cabrera and Eoin Macken had better become series regulars next year. How adorable were they? Very. Gwaaaaaine. Best new character in any show, ever. Basically if S4 consisted purely of him, Merlin and Arthur going on quests all the time, I'd be a happy camper. So many hearts for Gwaine. His whistling at the guards and then that utterly gleeful smile? Agh, so freaking cute.
And dear Leon. What needs be said of Leon? Everybody loves Sir Leon. (Including Gwen, apparently; holy chemistry, Batman.)accordingtomel and I were very tickled at his and Morgana's first canon scene together, heehee. We ship Leon/Morgana for absolutely no reason, so of course canon would blow that to pieces straight away.
Also, while I am glad to have the knights (HOT, HOT KNIGHTS) gathered, what was the point of Percival? Besides being 80 feet tall? The whole round table scene, though, OH MY HEART. Hi, early canon Arthur, I've missed you. Please stay.
Relatedly, Julian Murphy has made himself out to be a sexist, awful, ignorant man. I fart in your general direction, sir. Pathetic.
Unrelatedly, many thanks toelle_blessing for the lovely v-gift! *hugs*
Tradition dictates that I get sick every time I get back after a trip, so naturally I am now having to blow my nose every five minutes. Still, better now than during the visit, eh? How have you all been? I haven't been able to check the f-list diligently, so if you have exciting things to share, point me in the right direction!
